  • Publication number: 20210374885
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for dine-in location and on-demand order management through a customer mobile device. The customer may access a menu of available options, select one or more items, and place an order. Further, the customer may enter or otherwise provide a location identification when placing the order, which may allow a server or runner to deliver the order to the proper location (e.g., a table or other identified location within a dining area). Upon order placement, a confirmation may be provided that may include an estimated time for delivery of ordered items. Payment may be processed through the customer mobile device after delivery of the ordered items.

  • Patent number: 7457730
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating the decoration of an area, and particularly a surface such as a wall in a room, are provided. A user may view a virtual impression of the placement of selected artwork on a particular wall. The user provides an image of the area to be decorated, along with a reference scale associated with the area, to a server. The user views and selects an image of an artwork object from an available selection of artwork images, the artwork image having a corresponding size of the artwork object. The image of the artwork is scaled such that the ratio of the size of the artwork object and the size of the artwork image substantially corresponds to the ratio of the size of the area to be decorated and the size of the area image. The scaled artwork image is then overlayed on the area image and may be viewed by the user to provide a simulated image of the area and artwork.
